Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - When pitcher Erika Aimers and catcher Lindsey Bleser suit up for the Bellarmine University Lady Knights Softball Team, they feel they have a competitive advantage - a lifetime of chiropractic care. Erika is the daughter of Columbus, Indiana chiropractor Bill Aimers; Lindsey is the daughter of Cincinnati, Ohio chiropractor Steve Bleser, the president of the Ohio State Chiropractic Board.

Erika and Lindsey are juniors at Bellarmine, and both are on scholarships. The team competes in the NCAA Great Lakes Valley Conference, and is coached by Joe Elson and Dave Guild. Many of the team members get regular adjustments.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
